Maybe I will get the current Handloading manual to see.
Thanks

So it shows at 300yds a speed of 2354 and 1107 ft/lbs of energy for the 90gr CZ . So as always proper shot placement and judgment it would make a good deer cartridge

So for a 24" bolt gun, if you're using Leverevolution powder and can get what the Hornady data says, the 90 gr GMX/CX should get 3050 out of the muzzle, and be ~2424 fps/ 1174 ke at 300 yds. Their BC says 0.422 so pretty good for a lead-free. So reloading them could get you there it looks like.
I like the 103 I have a load for them in 6Arc but like them in my 6Creed better. But it's a good bullet.
For my 6Arc bolt action 22" I'm using a 100 gr Sierra tgk.
btw, I also cheat on all my rifles, I use a muzzle brake to keep the recoil down to a min, wear hearing pro even in the field.
Lots of "senior"-type, "hi mileage" members here, you're among friends. Ask and post away we also like to talk and banter.
Thanks again
